could see snow tonight.>> next becky will tell us what we can expect for the morning commute.

it is sort of a pretty picture from here, but the areas thank you -- air is picky -- icky. there is that brown cloud. >> we could have some snow tomorrow.>> becky ditchfield has a look at that.

everybody gets excited and then you slide when you don't think you will. let's go ahead and break it down. outside right now we have partly cloudy skies. that cloud is finally moving out and we still have mild temperatures to go with that. temperatures this afternoon were up into the upper 40s and range. now, i want to talk about this snow forecast. there have been questions, especially on 9news.com, why we have a flash flood watch in effect. that is because of an ice jam and not rain. we do have an ice jam in place along the gunnison river near este ranch. if that ice jam breaks, we could see the gunnison river levels rise by 5-8 feet and a short period of time. it could cause massive flooding

of the gunnison river. that is why it is in place. we will keep you updated on that situation. meanwhile, it has been a nice afternoon with temperatures in denver at 52 right now. dia is 51. fort collins is 34 and greeley is 36. they don't have the same westerly wind in the foothills like we have in the city. right here at 9news, we have partly cloudy skies and the temperature is 47. to bring the point home on how mild it is, me who is cold always is not even wearing a jacket. it is beautiful. in preparation for the next storm system, we have winter weather advisories in effect. it is moving through parts of the utah and wyoming and it will be pushing east. it will bring snow to locations west of the continental divide as well as east of their, including the denver metro area.

snow is going to be heavier across the northern and central mountains as we head into tonight and tomorrow morning. we get to about 4 am, hopefully by you are sleeping, we will see snow developing around denver and extending out to the eastern plains. this is why we think tomorrow morning's commute could be messy. from denver down to the south and out to the east is where we will see the heavier snow amounts. they go until about 7:00-9:00 before the system winds down and pushes out. we will get clearing and then the temperatures, with the morning snow, wind up above freezing for tomorrow afternoon. we are looking at 1/2 inch-two inches of snow falling from denver to the southeast. if you live up north in fort collins in greeley, it will be next to nothing for you. 1/2 inch or less for you folks. emphasis on or less. then you get up into the northern and central -- and central mountains along the continental divide and that's

west of their, it will be more. there are winter weather advisory simplest that go until -- into 6 am. looking at 2-6 inches of snow along the mountains and stretching down into vail, aston -- aspen, crested butte and even telluride. wind gusts could reach 40 miles per hour and create low visibility. then it moves out. another week system moves in thursday night -- wednesday night and into thursday. i want to show you with the forecast, look what happens. all the way into friday afternoon, the cold air dive south into the midwest and east coast. this system gets more intense and that is why our friends on the east coast are talking about a possible winter storm to wrap up the week. we will be watching that disturbance that moves through wednesday night and into thursday to see how it impacts

of the country by the end of this week. our forecast is more common than that. we have temperatures tonight that will drop into the teens and 20s. eastern plains will see lows in the 20s. teens and 20s for the mountains. the western slope about 26. we will reach highs in the 30s and 40s and 50s out east. 20s and 30s and the mountains and the western slope. the snow does not start until you are sleeping. wind out of the north at 5-15 miles per hour tonight. tomorrow, 41 is the high. but, after the snow and clouds clear. we are expecting 1/2 inch-two inches of snow in and around the denver metro area and to the south from this system. once it is out of here, you can see our forecast is pretty mild. we have 40s on wednesday and thursday -- -- thursday and upper 50s for friday.

another system moves in. we may see some clouds for the broncos game with highs in the low 40s. but, after tomorrow, the next chance for snow is not until next week. at least a decent chance for snow if you are in the metro area. so, i think we can all handle that, especially up with -- as we look what -- look at what could go on on the east coast. it looks like a pretty decent snow event for them.>> the last time we played, it was like the >> it was nuts. >> hopefully they will have good conditions for the broncos and they can pull off a nice

that you have to win in january. it was not the pretty fast break three-man weave where peyton manning place. the point guard as they had in 2013 when they were lighting up the scoreboard. the broncos did that type -- they did have that win yesterday. >> yet we worry. even though the patriots are beat up a little bit, they have couple of guys back. the last time we played, one got hurt.>> brady has his full complement of targets. but if the quarterbacks jam into their face masks before they get off the line of scrimmage, they may make brady dropback 3 yards and pass so he can play pitch and catch, but 7 yards. that broncos pass rush can get to them. brady does not like to get hit.

hit him and sacked him and get him ill at -- irritated in this game. i do think the broncos had a chance it will play well in the game on sunday.>> we talked about at the low scoring against the steelers. that is good defense. >> it is. this team, you can have two sides to the ball that are great. you can only have one great side and one often subside. the denver fans are used to the broncos been great on offense. manning years. the great side is on defense. history has shown that the best site is defense and that get you all the way through the tournament. >> seattle in 2013, the broncos were no match for them. don't underestimate them because the offense is struggling. the impressed because the

>> we help all of those great quotes from bill belichick. those that you are eager to hear in use.>> he had a couple today. he was talking about both brock osweiler and peyton manning. he was comparing them. everybody has weighed in on them, why not bill belichick? manning goes to the line and changes things and he is in control of the game. wherever -- whereas osweiler, whatever is called, it will probably be run. he had problems against brock back in november.>> he did. it's a great matchup. we talked about it months ago. >> there are only four teams left. you don't get to play the tennessee titans in the final four.>> it should be good weather wise too.
